Veterinary Surgery Process

We know that the idea of bringing your companion in for surgery can be an intimidating one. But rest assured that our veterinarians only recommend surgery for your pet when it is in their best interests.

We will make sure that you fully understand why we are recommending a given veterinary surgery and that you are comfortable in making the decision to move ahead with your companion's treatment.  

If your pet requires advanced care that is beyond the capacity of our hospital to provide, our vets will refer you to a veterinary surgeon in the Union City area and work closely with them to make sure that your pet gets the best possible care.

Surgical protocols at our clinic include:

Pre-surgical assessments. We will confirm the specifics of the procedure, complete a physical examination of the patient, and make sure blood tests have been completed and reviewed by the vet in order to determine if your pet faces any risk of anesthesia-related complications.

Dedicated surgical suites. We perform surgical procedures at our facility in a dedicated surgical suite. This room is kept totally sterile in order to prevent infection and cross-contamination. 

Surgical attire. Our staff wears disposable caps and masks at all times when they are in the surgical suite. Those involved in the procedure itself will also wear sterile gowns and single-use gloves.

Sterile packs and equipment. We are careful to clean, sterilize and wrap surgical instruments and equipment before each and every surgery.
